Product Description

Comprehensive coverage on Business Connectivity Services within SharePoint 2010

As Microsoft’s new multipurpose portal technology, Business Connectivity Services (BCS) is a brand new way for SharePoint users to seamlessly access and integrate data from any application or databases within SharePoint 2010. With this in–depth guide, a team of SharePoint experts walks you through the features of the new BCS, including the ability for users to view and modify the data from SharePoint 2010 with BCS. You’ll explore how to use BCS, deploy solutions, create external content types and lists, create .NET host connectors, and more.

  • Business Connectivity Services (BCS) allows you to seamlessly access and integrate data from any application or databases within SharePoint 2010
  • Demonstrates how to create BCS solutions with the SharePoint Designer in SharePoint 2010 and Office
  • Provides a clear overview of the BCS API
  • Addresses creating external content types and lists
  • Explains how to develop search–based solutions with BCS

Professional Business Connectivity Services in SharePoint 2010 provides you with thorough coverage on this new multipurpose portal technology.

From the Back Cover

Learn to use BCS as the vital data layer for SharePoint solutions

Because Business Connectivity Services offers an integration layer capable of connecting SharePoint to External Data, developers should now consider it as the primary pattern for developing applications in SharePoint. If your SharePoint solution needs data storage with capabilities beyond those of a standard list, BCS enables you to craft a solution that offers enterprise search, SharePoint UI and user profile integration, and Microsoft Office integration with off–line support. This book presents the power and capabilities of BCS plus the guidance to use them in custom application development.

Professional Business Connectivity Services in SharePoint 2010:

  • Provides an overview of BCS, its relationship to other components of SharePoint, and its role in the business environment

  • Explains integration points for BCS solutions with SharePoint 2010 and Office 2010

  • Shows how to create custom solutions using server–side and client–side object models

  • Covers development and application of connectors in Visual Studio® 2010

  • Examines security in BCS solutions, including both classic and claims mode considerations for SharePoint 2010

  • Demonstrates how to create solutions that use enterprise search with External Systems

Difficult to follow... 27 Jun 2011
By C. Jones - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This book is, at this point, the only one of its kind but its very difficult to follow in my opinion. When discussing how to create connectors a lot is left out I assume to force the reader to fill in the holes as they learn what they are doing but aren't we reading this book to actually learn how BCS works? Again, I applaud the others because this book provides phenomenal information on the topic but its a sub par learning tool if you would like to be shown straight forward basic techniques that walk you through the process. There is a lot of information on Office 2010 connecting to BCS which was not my goal for buying the book so at this point I pretty much skipped 1/3 of the book. I wanted to learn in depth development of BCS from .NET developers perspective and towards the end of the book they eventually get there but I expected that to be the majority of the book which is was not. I learned more about actually creating a BCS connector using Sharepoint 2010 Development with Visual Studio 2010.

THE definitive resource for all things BCS in SharePoint 2010 7 Feb 2011
By Andrew Connell - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
Having other books by Scot Hillier, I had high expectations for this book and it blew those away. I teach SharePoint 2010 development and have found that one of the more challenging subjects to find details on. This book covers every single aspect of Business Connectivity Services (BCS) in SharePoint 2010. It starts out with a good discussion explaining the need and how it addresses the common challenges we face. It then goes into the details of how to implement and use custom BCS solutions using SharePoint Designer 2010. Scot and Brad then go on to show you how to connect BCS solutions with Office 2010 as well as how to build custom solutions that are deployed to Office 2010. I had no idea SharePoint Workspace 2010 had a extensibilty story! Finally they go into a deep walkthrough on building custom solutions using the .NET Assembly Connector & custom connectors. All in all, this is a fantastic resource I'd highly recommend to everyone doing SharePoint development.
